释义 |
temper , in a ~: out of ~— 1016 这两个短语同义,都作“生气”或“发脾气”讲,并非 out of temper 是 in a temper 的反义形式,因为前者是 in a bad temper 的省略,而后者是 out of good temper 的省略。 例如: Don't talk to him, he is in a temper. 别理睬他,他生气啦。( = … in a bad temper ) He is a bit out of temper, I suppose. 我看,他有点生气了。(=… out of good temper )
